Following my announcement on Wednesday evening about tied bell practices in Holy Week, I can confirm that I have been granted permission from the Hawkley church authorities to hold these on the following 3 evenings. Monday 15th, Wednesday 17th and Friday 19th April all from 7.00-9.00pm. The object will be to improve on Bell Handling, learning how to ring the bell quicker and slower by improving on the positioning of your hands on the rope. Also I will be teaching 4 new recruits so it would be an opportunity to start to learn how to teach.
It would be helpful to now if you would like to come to one or all of these so that I can make sure we get a good balance for each evening, and if there is a demand then it might become a regular thing.
Hi all,
The November 10th practice will be at Hawkley from 5.30-7.30pm.
The bells will be half muffled ready for Remembrance Sunday.
It will be a general 8 bell practice from rounds up. A suggestion is to have a go at Double Norwich so have a look at it.
This will be the last practice for 2018 and l will organise more starting on the 3rd Saturday in January and after that back to the usual 2nd Saturday.
I hope you have enjoyed this years practices and have learned a bit more along the way. If you have anything in mind for next year then please let me know.
All best wishes
Roger
It appears that the yahoo email group is not working at the moment and Roger is trying to get the message out that tonight’s practice at Hawkley has been cancelled as he is unwell.
Please can you spread the word, so that no-one turns up and is disappointed.
Happy New Year to you all and to say that on Wednesday 10th the practice will be at Hawkley from 7.30-9.00pm.
On an other note, just to say that I am fully intending to arrange some more practices this year starting in February. I will have to see what is in the district calendar for the year before I can start organising this, however it will not be all Surprise Major, I am hoping to have enough interest in other methods, and will discuss this further at the Annual Meeting.
Our carol service is on Sunday 17th ringing will be from 3.20pm, for a 4.00pm service. We have 5 ringers so far, if anyone could help out with this that would be good.
A huge thank you to you all for supporting the practice at Hawkley last evening, and I hope those of you who had attended got something out of it, and most of all enjoyed it. On the strength of last nights attendance I will be organising some more practices of varying methods next year including surprise major.
Hi all,
I have arranged a surprise major practice at Hawkley on Saturday 25th November 5.00-7.00pm. It would be good if we can manage to ring Cambridge, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Superlative, however this will depend on numbers, so if you are planning on coming it would be good if you can let me know.
We have a wedding at Hawkley this Saturday 23rd at 1.00pm and are in need of 6 ringers for this.I fully appreciate that this is very short notice and if any of you can help please let me know asap. You would need to be at the church for 1.30pm,
